Bolesławiec Cultural Centre – International Ceramics Centre, in cooperation with the Project Partner, the city of Jablonec nad Nysą, invite you to participate in Polish-Czech Argentine tango workshops. The project involves seven two-day workshop meetings (Saturday and Sunday on a selected weekend each month, from March to November 2017)
Leading Argentine tango instructors in Poland have confirmed their participation in the project. The first classes will begin on the weekend of 18 and 19 March, and the lecturers will be: Agnieszka Stach and Tymoteusz Ley.
The project was conceived by the Bolesławiec and Jablonec communities of ballroom-dance enthusiasts: the “Cafe Tango” Association and the “Tango Bolesławiec” Association, as well as people gathered around the “Topdance” dance school in Jablonec.
Applications for the project are accepted during “Cafe Tango” classes every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 20:30 to 21:30 in the dance studio at BOK – MCC. On the Czech side, applications should be sent to: libor.jager@topdance.cz.
Approximately 25 couples from Poland and the Czech Republic will participate directly in the workshops. During the monthly meetings, additional people will be able to join the project, and workshop participants may be exchanged, allowing more people to benefit from the classes and helping avoid attendance problems caused by unforeseen circumstances (the expected total number of participants is more than 50 people from Poland and the Czech Republic).
At the workshops, an interpreter will be present in each group to ensure that the classes run smoothly. Each workshop will conclude with an evening milonga in the foyer of the Forum cinema—a joint gathering of all the couples and an opportunity to put the skills acquired during the classes into practice. The milonga makes it possible, among other things, to try out in practice the techniques and steps learned in the lessons, dance with different partners, and exchange experiences with people who have a similar or considerably longer dancing background.
The “Tango Milonga – Polish-Czech Dance Workshops” project is co-financed by the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund and by national budget funds via the Nysa Euroregion. Information is available at: tangomilonga.eu.
